Beautie Fix: ASPIRIN MASK

key to flawless makeup, is flawless beautiful skin. there are many products out there that you can use to help achieve flawless skin, however there is a simple and easy do-it-your-self facial mask that can give you the same or even better results and it costs less than five bucks. this revolutionary mask is called an aspirin mask. "Aspirin is actually a form of Beta Hydroxy Acids or BHA’s, which are found in many skin creams and work by exfoliating the dull, dead layers of skin, revealing fresh new skin underneath. Over time, BHA’s can help clarify skin tone and promote healing of blemishes." 
 
However, do not use the aspirin mask if you have a sensitivity to BHA’s or if you have very sensitive skin, or obviously if you are allergic to aspirin!

it is a simple combination of a few ingredients that you have laying around.

Recipe:
4 aspirin tablets ( uncoated)
a few DROPS of water
1 teaspoon of honey (optional)

in a small dish, place the aspirin tablets, and SPRINKLE a few drops of water on the tablets. wait a minute of two till the tablets are soft enough and easy to mash. mash it all up, and you will have a grainy pasty consistency. if you like you can at this point add a binding ingredient, honey is an ideal one, as it helps the aspirin mask adhere to your face easily. also honey has skin clearing benefits as well. leave the mask on for 5- 10 mins. as you rinse off the mask exfoliate your skin with the grains. your skin will be smooth, and after a few applications you will notice even toned skin as well. do this at most twice a week, as your skin can become resistant to the mask. i hope you guys will benefit from my findings ;)
